Title

gtp: add synchronize_net() in gtp_newlink() error path to prevent use-after-free

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gtp: add synchronize_net() in gtp_newlink() error path to prevent use-after-free gtp_newlink()'s error path frees tid_hash and addr_hash without waiting for an RCU grace period after clearing sk_user_data. A concurrent gtp_encap_recv() in softirq may still hold the gtp_dev pointer obtained via rcu_dereference_sk_user_data() and access the freed memory. BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in gtp0_pdp_find+0x1f6/0x200 (gtp.c:152) Call Trace: <IRQ> gtp0_pdp_find+0x1f6/0x200 gtp_encap_recv+0x527/0x24b0 udp_queue_rcv_one_skb+0x75f/0xc10 Add synchronize_net() before the kfree calls in out_hashtable, which covers all error paths from both gtp_encap_enable() and gtp_create_sockets().

Severity

Concurrent gtp_encap_recv() in softirq only uses already-freed tid_hash/addr_hash; a remote GTP-U peer cannot cause the free.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the RCU race: one thread issues RTM_NEWLINK that fails after setup_udp_tunnel_sock() (invalid second FD, IPv4/IPv6 family mismatch, or register_netdevice failure) while another floods UDP datagrams at the encap socket so gtp_encap_recv() still holds the gtp_dev pointer across the kfree.\nPR:L - Creating a GTP device requires CAP_NET_ADMIN in the target netns via rtnl_link_get_net_capable()/netlink_ns_capable(). Unprivileged users obtain this through user+network namespaces (unshare -Urn); gtp_link_ops has no extra init-namespace check and MODULE_ALIAS_RTNL_LINK(\"gtp\") permits module autoload.\nUI:N - The attacker opens its own UDP sockets, sends packets to them, and issues the failing RTM_NEWLINK from its own process. No separate victim action such as mounting a filesystem or opening a file is required.\nS:U - Impact is a host-kernel slab use-after-free in drivers/net/gtp.c, i.e. standard local privilege escalation within the same kernel security authority, not a KVM/Xen guest-to-host escape or IOMMU/DMA boundary bypass.\nC:H - gtp0_pdp_find()/gtp1_pdp_find() walk the attacker-sized freed tid_hash hlist under RCU. Heap spraying that slab yields a fake pdp_ctx and an arbitrary kernel read primitive, so Confidentiality is High per UAF guidance.\nI:H - A sprayed fake pdp_ctx is passed to gtp_rx(), which writes device stats, assigns skb-\u003edev, and calls __netif_rx(); combined with UAF heap reuse this is an arbitrary write and control-flow hijack primitive, so Integrity is High.\nA:H - KASAN reports slab-use-after-free in gtp0_pdp_find from gtp_encap_recv in softirq (udp_queue_rcv_one_skb). The UAF causes a kernel oops or panic even when not fully exploited, so Availability is High."

GHSA-H6Q8-7J67-4Q68

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-16 09:30 – Updated: 2026-09-16 15:30

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

gtp: add synchronize_net() in gtp_newlink() error path to prevent use-after-free

gtp_newlink()'s error path frees tid_hash and addr_hash without waiting for an RCU grace period after clearing sk_user_data. A concurrent gtp_encap_recv() in softirq may still hold the gtp_dev pointer obtained via rcu_dereference_sk_user_data() and access the freed memory.

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in gtp0_pdp_find+0x1f6/0x200 (gtp.c:152) Call Trace: gtp0_pdp_find+0x1f6/0x200 gtp_encap_recv+0x527/0x24b0 udp_queue_rcv_one_skb+0x75f/0xc10

Add synchronize_net() before the kfree calls in out_hashtable, which covers all error paths from both gtp_encap_enable() and gtp_create_sockets().

Severity

7.8 (High)


                  
                    CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
